To support early detection of pre-cancerous conditions and prevent cervical cancer, Bangladesh undertook a screening programme using visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA) and cryotherapy through a public sector programme. The programme was launched in 2004-05 in a phased manner, starting with a pilot programme in 16 of the 64 district inthe county and scalep up to 44 districts as of the end of 2007. Evaluation of the programme's performance showed that VIA can be carried out by trained doctors, nurses, and partners and families are foten in Bangladesh, even though the level of resources is poor, and women, their partners and families are foten not aware of the disease and its consequences. The programme now needs to move opportunitistic screening to population-based, systematic screening of women over age 30. More providers need to be trained, and clinics better equipped. The link between screening, diagnosis and treatment need to be improved and the false-positive rate of VIA tests greatly reduced. It is only when we have achieved high coverage that reduced rates of cancer can be ensured. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
